Ally cat's mom, you have such a big heart to care for these abandoned cats and I hope they will settle in at their new place with you...
We have some feral cats over here as well, but they are very very scary and thus we have never really the possibility to get close to them...
I think these cat will always be true ferals and they really hate humans...
Though most of them are spayed/neutered they never settled in close to humans!

So I think you really did a gorgeous job for Patches and Ginger...as I always think that according to Saint-Exupery "we are responsible for what we have tamed"...you really live according to this and that's just purrfect!!!

Paws and fingers crossed that the outside cats will love their new home just like Ally!!!
